I don't know how it sounds like acoustically but it sounds like rubber bands with that pickup. Practically unlistenable. This is what an acoustic guitar should sound like: ruclips.net/video/bcrEqIpi6sg/видео.html
Always my favorite Stephen Stills tune ! I served 2 tours in Viet Nam , always had a guitar with me ! It was a sureal time , lots of weed and lots of guitars ! Still playing guitar , still smoking weed , still Love Stephen Stills , and I am almost 72 years old ! You had to be there !
Two Tours for me also...... You good? My Psychiatrist At the VA said 50 years ago that I should always keep me a, "Magic Box." I call my guitars over the years, "Magic Box." Cause some time it sounds like magic coming off that box and strings. And a little Cambodian Red makes it sound so much better.."Class of 69"
I was in Nam back in the early 70's and still remember how those pilots on those hewy's would put their lives on the line..they where a breed of fellows I'll never forget..
in libya I WORKED WITH A GUY NAMED Bob Sutton and he allegedly has also been there but he was a bit of an odd ball :always bragging He had even met the famous actrice mmmm forgot, who was there to cheer the troops on BS used to say : "well I did not fuck her, but had my hands on her pussy! "
My Dad was a flyboy in WWII, Korea, and Viet-Nam. Survived seven downings. Was a Hell of a guy. "Cashed out" at the age of 68. "Live fast ,die young, and leave a beautiful memory" Rest In Peace Dad. I still smile every-time I think of you. "Gear-up".
Mad respects, what branch did your dad serve in. My dad served in WW2 and Korea as an aircraft mechanic in the Marines. After Korea and is 15 years of service. He joined up with Eastern airlines in 55 up to the closing
I spent 45 years years in the cockpit of both airplanes and helicopters until my forced retirement last year at age 62. From the geographic North Pole in ‘88, through to India, Nigeria, KSA, Qatar, Yemen and finally Abu Dhabi in the UAE…..it’s been a great ride…… Treetop Flyer is a greatly appreciated tribute to those highly trained pilots who do things just a bit different than the guys driving at United. Many thanks…….
Stephen Stills,the most beautiful, enchanting, singing voice ever,amazing writer,and well the guitar playing is a voice of perfection all its own. Rock On Stephen!
The best Guitarists in the world would have great envy and admiration for this Southerner ..... Steven Stills was a Phenomenal Player of several instruments, Composed, sang and integrated into several bands and a solo career .... I loved to hear this man play - Just so great !!! God bless you Steven Stills !
When you realize he has written so many of their songs, you can hardly believe there could be so much talent in one man! But it’s really him who does so much! I never tire of hearing him!
Don't recall anyone ever not giving Stephen the credit due. He makes that Martin sing. This is a goddamn good version of this masterpiece by the way. I've seen him forget the words a few times.
It's hard to over state two things. Firstly, how under rated Stephen Stills is. Secondly, and more importantly, how absolutely brilliant he is. His influence on modern music is enormous. Jimi Hendrix apparently said Stephen was his favourite guitarist to jam with. High praise indeed!
After 45 years of hearing him in the background, I started listening to this amazing musician. He has chops like very few, and can make it sound beautiful at the same time, a distinction that can not be understated. "Jimi Hendrix apparently said Stephen was his favorite guitarist to jam with. High praise indeed! " If what you say is accurate, it is like being given knighthood by the King of guitar players.
Jim Deeds Gym For The Soul my dad used to jam with him, neil and ritchie when they got to LA tlll the early 70s. Gave dad open G, he still keeps his favorite Martin tuned to it. He's 83 and still plays. Rock and Roll till you die
wow what a song and a pleasure im a 23yr retired disabled vet and this song makes me cry with pride, ive did my time and and aint got shit to prove to anyone , but myself , and i love to fly my own airplane , still do , just in ohio LOL
Genius , if there's a list of best songs ever written this is in that list , how can anyone thumbs down this?I grew up to this stuff , can't get tired of it
Stephen gave a shout out to our beloved veterans about challenges they faced coming home from the war. God bless them. Each and every one of them. Thank y'all. Salute!
@@jamesmcdougallthethird4021 we didn’t do anything besides come out of that war more damaged then before we went in. All stories are from the loses. Hamburger hill is an example. Nothing to salute in that manner
So glad I was there in the beginning. I can almost hear the chopper blades. They saved our classmates, husbands, brothers, and lived to tell about it. Even though they rarely did. Stephen Stills singing about them just makes our day. Yep, they kept flying.
these guys flew me into countless electrifying situations. They brought me and my helicopter back for a year. I mourn the ones we lost and praise the ones who returned to the world with me.
Makes the hair on my neck stand up every time I hear it. Particularly this version. The epitome of a musician in my book. ONE PERSON WITH AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR.
There are brilliant guitarists, there are guitarists that play from the heart and there are guitarists who have bucket loads of style but there are not many that possess all three. Stephen Stills is one of the few. What a class act !!
One of the best treetop flyers I ever knew / went up with became the department head of the aviation department at a major university. He started out as a crop duster. He had an old Beechcraft cargo plane, and we’d take people up for a sky diving school and push them out, if they’d get up there and chicken out. That’s how we spent our free time. This was the late 70s, early 80s.
Ive loved over the years, Stephen's voice, guitar playing and he's handsome to top it off. The whole group have amazing voices. Love Crosby, Stills and Nash. I love bluesy style.
Listening to this I'm reminded once again how much Stills guitar sound shaped music in the 1970s. This particular song reminds me of the classic CSN&Y album 4 Way Street (although this was released years after that seminal recording) Stephen has a lonely bluesy quality in his playing that draws you in and perfectly compliments his warm earthy vocals.
This is the most beautiful I have ever seen of Stephen. This dvd is one of my most treasured possesions I own. I love his voice and Judy put it best when she said his voice was "sandy honey" Thank you Judy for that. I love you so much Stephen I just wish I could sit down with you and tell you again face to face as I did back in May in Northridge. God Bless you Stpehen.
God such good era of musicians that never stop sounding good to me. Havent heard this one in a very long long time.......steven stills crisp clean sound..wow. Thank you for that.
Simple...I know people have many differences...but ....I love this song!...Beautifully done......more proof that different backgrounds and circumstances can produce something amazing that we all remember ...(oh yeah!!).....
One of the true American greats. I remember what a revelation it was when I heard him play with Mike Bloomfield and Al Cooper on the Super Sessions album. Groundbreaking rock and roll. Time flies....
4 years late to this video. Immediately got goose bumps. Amazing cover and guitar tone. almost reminds me of days of the new and the tuning Travis used to get that heavy acoustic sound
remind's me of my youth......came back in 73...got a job with a major railroad as a admin. person....was layed off then i became a courier...up and down the east coast...some of the best times of my life.....and yes what i did was illegal as hell....
Oh my Heaven, I just don’t know how one could dislike this. But in a strange way, I feel sorry for those that do. Such glorious music, but so much more!
Fantastic, the song has a real story and emotion to it. I’m afraid I was was a Vietnam war pilot, but I can feel the emotion of what they felt having no job to come back too. Plus Stills is a guitar god. Love from Scarbrough, Uk
First heard this song driving through the Arizona desert 🌵 May 5th, 1996, and was blown away. Grew up listening to Steven Stills, have my old Buffalo Springfield, CSN(Y) albums and got his first solo album in 1970, got Mannasas when it was released, still Mannasas is the perfect album, but I love Tree Top Flyer. My girlfriend had a Takamine and I had a Yamaha acoustic, a very good guitar and learned to finger pick..❤
I've pegged you as one of the MOST WONDERFUL MEN IN THE WORLD because of your talent ---- I WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF HEARING YOUR SONGS!!!! I fall asleep to them every night ..... Bless you for your creativeness!!!!!!
Most of us from our generation, took up playing the guitar because of the influences of CSN&Y or Jackson Browne....it was the California canyon music of the 1960's-70's that got us hooked. I realize that there were many other influences around and folks who were inspired by them likewise, but for our friends it was Stephen Stills and fellow Buffalo Springfield alumnus Neil Young who got us going.
Who in the hell gives Stephen Stills 263 thumbs down ????? Try Word Game ,Black Queen, Pink Giraffe in Snow LP...or ..Just Roll Tape..love. light....Peace ~!

Been listening to Stills for 50 years (a lot) and he is the best acoustic guitar player I ever heard.
Ever listen to Richard Thompson?
Tree Top Flyer was my CB handle for several years. As long as I had one back in the 70's I was the Tree Top Flyer! Love me some Stephen Stills!
Awesome
I was Calico Kitten by default lol
Who’s still listening in 2024???
damn right
Me 😊
Every few years I remember this song and play this video
I am Jacckass go back to your punk rock!
Old people like me
I spent 45 years years in the cockpit of both airplanes and helicopters until my forced retirement last year at age 62.
From the geographic North Pole in ‘88, through to India, Nigeria, KSA, Qatar, Yemen and finally Abu Dhabi in the UAE…..it’s been a great ride……
Treetop Flyer is a greatly appreciated tribute to those highly trained pilots who do things just a bit different than the guys driving at United.
Many thanks…….

Stephen Stills,the most beautiful, enchanting, singing voice ever,amazing writer,and well the guitar playing is a voice of perfection all its own. Rock On Stephen!

One of the finest acoustic guitarists to ever play popular music.
Stephen stills is an icon. Sadly he and his generation of music artists are dying slowly off. we will never see the likes of them ever again.
No, have a look at Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real / Carry on here on RUclips. You'll love it !
Here Here you hit the nail right on the head Great Dane great music during extraordinary time
John Reynolds love em while they are here
I know what you're saying but give peace a chance! There's got to be some more good stuff coming or not
Always a great always an icon never underestimated his influence
CSN&Y were great because of this man. All the others have stated publicly that he is a genius. Special talent for sure.
👏👏👏👏🏴👏👏👏👏
I never knew it till I took my son and wifey to see Steve in 1990$ Denver , valet drove my chrysler 300,413 off the chain
CSN and “what the hell for”.
This guy mixes with that guitar like honey and bees. Simply the best.
That guitar is just an extension from his soul, he's brilliant playing acoustic and electric
Can the casual listener appreciate how hard it is to fingerpick a song like this AND sing?
Probably not
It is very taxing to keep up and easy to loose track or make a mistake, even Chet Atkins and other made mistakes live all the time
Ya and I can't just listen to it once
Lots and lots of practice!
You've never heard of Billy Strings, evidently. He makes Stills look like an amateur on guitar. And the kid is thirty.
This is some bad ass guitar playing. Better than people have given him credit for.
PLUS - he's doing all those fills in open D. Amazing.
Don't recall anyone ever not giving Stephen the credit due. He makes that Martin sing. This is a goddamn good version of this masterpiece by the way. I've seen him forget the words a few times.
@@rogermckimmy4466 Just drop D not open D
Is it open d or the Bruce Palmer tuning EEEEBE he used so often? 4+20, Judy Blue Eyes…

Steven Stills one of the All time Greats
So glad I was there in the beginning. I can almost hear the chopper blades. They saved our classmates, husbands, brothers, and lived to tell about it. Even though they rarely did. Stephen Stills singing about them just makes our day. Yep, they kept flying.

This makes me think of what my late husband experienced when he did 3 tours in Vietnam as a tunnel rat! Thanks to the tree top flyers.
May he Rest in Peace
Stephen Stills. An icon of guitar players, song writers and performers.
If I could compose songs and play like Stephen Stills, my life would be complete. Such a talented musician.
Makes the hair on my neck stand up every time I hear it. Particularly this version. The epitome of a musician in my book. ONE PERSON WITH AN ACOUSTIC GUITAR.
They called it "wooden music "
Me too No Shit straight to the point
Best solo on acoustic ever and done with class, in a sport coat!!!
My favorite look of his. Classy ! ❤❤❤
Video evidence he may be the coolest person ever to walk this earth.
Looks great there.
Few things are better than a Martin Guitar in the hands of Stephen Stills! ❤
Stephen Stills has that touch of of gold on his guitar. And that sound of American music so original we forget who comes up with it. Rock on Stephen.
Goose bumps for me too. I loved it how the crowd came alive to show their appreciation at the end of the song. He's tops.
I went to church with a friend named Gary Driggers who was a treetop flyer in Vietnam. Thank you for your service Bro.!
Wicked-good guitar playing and a velvet voice = a great, seasoned performer. What a treat!
Hello Terry, How are you doing?
He positively purrs in that first verse - how does he make that sound?

There are brilliant guitarists, there are guitarists that play from the heart and there are guitarists who have bucket loads of style but there are not many that possess all three. Stephen Stills is one of the few. What a class act !!
One of the best treetop flyers I ever knew / went up with became the department head of the aviation department at a major university. He started out as a crop duster.

This was the late 70s, early 80s.
when i found this one, i got hooked and became so addicted that i had to listen to it a couple of times a day at least.

Oh, my. Stephen is one of the absolute greats.
Stills is one of favorite artists of all times!
When Stephen is locked in he is one of the best.
An iconic guitarist -- and an even better singer/songwriter.
im only 15 and i love his music and im very greatful to my dad for getting me into his music.
brilliant!!!!!
Ive loved over the years, Stephen's voice, guitar playing and he's handsome to top it off. The whole group have amazing voices. Love Crosby, Stills and Nash. I love bluesy style.
This is one of the best solo acoustic performances I have seen
It's not fair - not only a great guitar tone (and playing talent), but THE greatest vocal tone I've ever heard.

Talented man. Only performer in history to have Hendrix and Clapton guest on the same album. Says something about the respect for his talent.
One of the best songs from Steven stills, even after all these years ,still fantastic true to life song funky and bluesy true talent
My oh my, this DOES take me back.......that powerful acoustic guitar of Steve Stills. What an artist! Love it, every time I hear it.
So glad we are ALL in...love my fellows who came through the Firefall...God speed, my fellow Byrds,,,
What style this man has. All the fills and solos just blend perfectly together with the melody. A true master!
This song brings backs sooooooooo many memories & makes me love Stephen Stills even more!!!!
Hello Helen, How are you doing?
One of the most underrated heroes of Rock Music, etc., including vocally, songwriting-wise, and guitar playing! Such a talent!
God such good era of musicians that never stop sounding good to me. Havent heard this one in a very long long time.......steven stills crisp clean sound..wow. Thank you for that.
My favorite version of my favorite CSN song. Stephen Stills still amazes me with his sound.
It' wasn't a CSN song.
those were the days...magic.....action between voice and guitar is beautiful...the rhythm is haunting...travis picking....I love it..
Stephen Stills somehow manages to make a 6 string guitar sound like a 12 string...kick ass player.
that's something, because he played a 12 a lot back in the day. It's cover, but their version of Mr. Fantasy is good sample of what He can do
+Gillian G He also plays a 12 string
Best acoustic player in RnR history.
It’s because of his tuning. Literally all Es gives a good 12 string vibe
You're right
My daughter was born on Veterans day! Love my baby girl!!!
Simple...I know people have many differences...but ....I love this song!...Beautifully done......more proof that different backgrounds and circumstances can produce something amazing that we all remember ...(oh yeah!!).....
Awesome talent and delightful performance!
SO SWEET!!! Heard it the first time around and am loving it just as much now!!! Never grows old! SUPERB!
I see 108 people don't like this.. not every one knows good music or a good musician.
nah ;) a lot of them probably were people whom I had

The best version of one of the greatest songs of all time
Such a tremendous song about Freedom ! And such a wonderful Guitarist !
Stills is one of the ALL TIME greatest singer song writers we've ever witnessed, so nice.
Lots of people really can relate to this wonderful song!

Definitely a great acoustic song from one of the masters of the acoustic guitar! Rock on to this groove with Mr. Stills. Peace!

Being a good musician doesn't make you a good person.
Wow

Great tune - I use to fly with the guys he is singing about...and they were nuts, but they took us where we needed to go and back.
One of my all-time favs
Love his voice & his face, when he sings~
That haunting voice, you cant mistake it, anywhere, any time.
You should be proud. My dad was a WWII hero. He had a story about flying with a tree top pilot in North Africa. Sorry for your loss. Carry on!
Damn I haven't heard that song for along long time still love it.
